Found this cute ditty and thought I'd share it:

Metabolism

It’s a very odd thing –As odd as can be –That whatever Miss T. eatsTurns into Miss T.;Porridge and apples,Mince, muffins and mutton,Jam, junket, jumbles –Not a rap, not a buttonIt matters; the momentThey’re out of her plate,Though shared by Miss ButcherAnd sour Mr. Bate;Tiny and cheerful,And neat as can be,Whatever Miss T. eatsTurns into Miss T.
